Fashion Week 2022: Paris & Milan

My love for fashion and glamour is no secret, seeing as I even created my own clothing line, S by Serena. From my on-court looks to event appearances, I’m passionate about the styles I wear. Fashion is such a big part of who I am, and I’m grateful to have the chance to experience it up-close at top fashion events, like the recent Paris Fashion Week.

On my first day of Paris Fashion Week, I paid tribute to my dear friend, the late designer and Off-White founder, Virgil Abloh. It was such an honor to walk in his label’s show, wearing something from its “ready-to-wear” collection –  a sheer navy blue dress over a printed high-neck, long-sleeve top and matching pants. Virgil meant so much to me, and to walk in a collection that he was still a part of was something I could not miss. I’m thankful for the opportunity, and grateful to show love to my friend.

The Balmain show also took place during Paris Fashion Week, and I was lucky enough to sit in the front row in a look from the Balmain Pre-Fall 2022 collection – a velvet mini dress with a matching cropped jacket. The deep emerald colorway added a versatile twist to the ensemble, which featured a strong, sexy silhouette with broad shoulders and padded hips for a flattering hourglass look. I chose a pair of pointed-toe sock boots to top off the look, for a sleek and chic finish.

Of course, my Paris Fashion Week wouldn’t be complete without some S by Serena! I loved hitting the streets of Paris in my sexy, sophisticated bodycon dresses from my new Best Dressed Collection. The Riley Midi Dress in Rose and the Sophia Midi Dress in Wine really fit in with my mood in the romantic City of Lights.

While I may be the one in my family who knows a thing or two about sitting front row at Fashion Week, it was my mini-me, Olympia, who stole the show in Milan! Our family spent a night out in Italy as we took in Gucci’s Fall 2022 show, “Exquisite Gucci”. I wore a black form-fitting dress with a matching knee-length feathered coat for the show, while Olympia stepped out in an adorable red, white, and brown plaid coat and pink dress. She definitely has her own sense of style, and is really coming into her own as a little fashionista!
